Blurring the geo-body: mental maps of Israel/Palestine / Ben-Zeev, Efrat

Ben-Zeev, Efrat	Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

This article explores how geographical forms of Israel/Palestine are represented in maps sketched by high school students. The results show that they are significantly different from the geopolitical map, demonstrating the unique ways through which these students think about the national territory. The paper probes two sources that feed into the country's geographical image: its ongoing politics of treating boundaries as potential frontiers, and the school curriculum, which conveys a double message regarding borders. This image of a blurred geo-body invites for creative resolutions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Summary/Abstract

Central Asia is one of the energy resource rich regions in the world. For the post-Soviet sovereign and independent Central Asian States (CAS), energy sector has assumed special political and economic significance during the last two decades. The leadership of the CAS has to deal with the geo-political influence of the global powers apart from the fact that their energy sector, being integrated with the global energy market, has also to deal with the cost and benefit of fluctuating international demand and price for oil.

Oil politics in Central Asia and West Asia: India’s concern / Kamboj, Anil

Kamboj, Anil	Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

Energy resources are reshaping the geopolitical map in Eurasia. Eventual control of the development of oil deposits as well as the eventual pipeline routing will determine the political and economic future of Russia, Turkey and the Central Asian states; it will determine Iran’s position in the region and its relations with the West; it will determine the realignment of the strategic triangle among the US, Russia and China; and it will have strategic consequences by lessening dependence on Persian Gulf oil. The absence of a robust security bulwark and deep rooted intra-regional conflicts raises concerns about the viability of regional security in West Asia. Now importance arises that whether India should start getting involved in the regional security of West Asia by helping create a regional security bulwark which may deter the outside interference in the region or not. We must remember that, the region forms a part of India's extended neighbourhood.
